Please help me with this pcm issue.

I have a 94 f150 xl with the 4.9 and 5 speed and for the past couple months it has been running horrible, stalling bucking and barley running. The fuel pump would never shut off, just continuously run. I checked every sensor and connection i could and found nothing. Eventually the fuel pump wouldn't even kick on and i thought that was for sure my issue. But then i jumped pins on the test connector and triggered the pump to run and it functioned great which led me to the pcm/ecm. i was wondering if these pictures confirm that this may be the issue?

I don't think I need to point out the bad areas. You've got some problems.

That is the common capacitor leakage. Just like a dead battery in flash light.

Some times the board can be cleaned & new ones soldered in.

That's pretty severe.

Post a pic of the connector label & calibration code off door jam.

Thanks for the input. I knew it was rough but I'm just curious if its repairable or if i should just grab a reman. Here are the pictures of the calibration code and the connector label.

Yeah, you can replace the capacitors if you got the skill. Very little cost for the caps.

I plugged your calibration number into the site search & came up with 2 threads.

The first is somebody with just like you who has a F3TF-12A650-NC computer, a 1993 ECU they say is in a 94

Rock Auto has one of those listed, (NC) in the 1993 section for a 4.9/5-sp 150.

The circuit board will need to be repaired on yours too (your board looks repairable but will need wires added to fix the traces)
I would buy a processor and keep yours to repair later to see if you can make it work as a spare
I found a brand new JAG1 for my van on Ebay for around 400 (pricy but brand new)
Search Ebay.
There is one I found item # 353221817549 its 419 (pricy for a reman)
Once you find one, search some more for a lower price / better part
